I'd suggest leaving it alone for now. Deal with it when you've
got more time available.

Depending on how your system is set up... If X starts up
automatically, edit the .xsession file. If you boot up to a
console and then run 'startx' to start X, edit .xinitrc.

Whichever way is appropriate, you probably have a line like
this:

exec gnome-session

Comment that line out and replace it with this:

exec /usr/bin/enlightenment  (correct the path if necessary)

E also comes with a script called enlightenment.install, I
believe, that will do this for you. It may only be included
with E v0.16.x though and not v0.15.x.
